Perimenopause- strange feeling in head

Posted , 2 users are following.

I'm 50, been getting various perimenopause symptoms for the last 2 years or so, but the worst has been this weird sensation in my head every 6/8 weeks. It happens about twice a day for 3 or 4 days, and feels like my head is taking over my thoughts for 10 - 15 seconds, as if I'm awake and dreaming at the same time. I feel as if I can't speak while this is happening, and have to wait for it to pass. It's really scary, I feel very anxious, and always boiling hot, sweating afterwards. During these 3 or 4 days I always get this feeling as I'm dropping off to sleep also and wake up in a panic, again sweating. It happens through the night aswell, I wake regularly feeling panic and anxious then sweating again. The first 2 times it happened I actually passed out, but in the last 2 years since I have only had the weird feeling and not lost consciousness. I have had various tests over the last 2 and a half years, brain scans, heart monitors, blood tests etc but not diagnosed with anything yet. Does anyone else have these feelings, or had them in the past, be grateful for any help/advice, thanks.

    I always have this feeling during my pms. Now I have it less. Very strange feeling, you become separated from the world. I couldn't find any solution but suffering 😐 I tried something sweet but didn’t help much. I usually had a foggy mind after.
